Local furniture shops also offer a variety of themed kids nightstands featuring Dora the Explorer, fire hydrant or pink princess motifs for toddler-aged children. It has been observed by local vendors that girls generally prefer nightstands that accent ornate charm of antique white or scalloped wood kids and boys like rugged simple slated night stand.

Nightstands come in different varieties of designs, size and colors. It is not difficult to match them with your already decorated room and is great decorative furniture. Always keep in mind that whatever furniture you buy for kid's room, it should be of wood. Avoid metal furniture as there is a high probability of your child getting hurt. Wooden furniture also last long and gives a better appearance than metal finish.

There are some nightstands that do not have drawers but are wide open tables with a rack or two built underneath the solid table top. Nightstands of these types are usually metallic and designed for both aesthetic beauty and utility. Many prefer these types of nightstands as the items placed on them can be easily retrieved when they are needed by the user. The designs of the nightstands depend primarily on the appearance of the bed and the preferential habits of the user. For example, those who like to have late or midnight snacks should go for designs that use nightstands as coffee tables.
